CARNACKI: HEAVEN AND HELL by WILLIAM MEIKLE (Kindle Edition) In the late 19th and Early 20th centuries Sherlock Holmes, John Silence and Allan Quartermain all fought against the powers of darkness. One other man fought the same battle, armed only with his wits, his science, and his arcane knowledge. Meet an Edwardian occult detective who goes where no other gentleman will dare, venturing deep into neolithic barrows, into the crypts of ancient cathedrals and fighting the elemental powers of darkness on his own terms. Meet Carnacki: Ghostfinder William Meikle does a stand up job here of capturing the tone of the original stories. - British Fantasy Society This version of Carnacki seems a bit more voluble than the one I remember, but horror stories of this type generally assume a more relaxed and intellectual air than most modern ones. It's a style of writing that I appreciate, and miss. - Don D'Ammassa  DARK REGIONS PRESS | AMAZON | AMAZON UK
